Viking spirit upheld despite loss of State Title in Columbus
by Doug Chovpn
"Winning is not everything" is a factual statement heard quite often. .
No one can say for sure •
how many times it was repeated after the Hoover
Viking's loss Sunday in
Columbus to Toledo St.
Francis.
But, in the community's
eyes, the Vikings are Winners,- as shown throughout the pastseason, through
the State Championship
playoffs and up to the welcome home celebration Sunday night as an estimated
crowd of 1500 loyal fans
refused to allow one loss
to dampen their spirits.
It has been 45 years since
Hoover High School sent
an athletic team to a State
Championship. 1939 saw the
school's basketball team
win the title coached by the
late Ray Swope.
North Canton is not about
to let the excitement of the
past three months fade into
history, but instead, let it
evolve into an anticipation
of better things to come.
A unification of community spirit best describes the
backing North Canton gave
to its varsity gridders.
'In all my years living
in this city, I've never seen
any more community spirit
than what we've witnessed
during this past football
season," Paul Strausser
said, who is a life - long
North Canton resident of79
years. "The people remained proud whether we
won or not."
Pride is exactly what per
meated the east stands of
Tlie Ohio State University
Football Stadium last
Sunday afternoon.
Unofficial estimates figure a crowd of more than
13,000 of which Hoover fans
clearly dominated.

quarterback C64-'66) Dr. Gregory Gray, with the Division
I State Championship ball. The Vikings came home with
a 17-14 loss Sunday after being defeated by Toledo St.
Francis at Ohio State University.
'1 really think the world
of those kids," Strausser
said. "The townwas really
behind them."
Strausser who rode home
from Columbus ononeofthe
several chartered buses,
said he heard nocomplaints
about the loss or who the
blame might rest on.
"These kids play football
because they love it, and
that's what really counts,"
Strausser said.
As the North Canton
crowd grew about two
hours before game time
it was clearly evident
that the colors of Hoover High are orange and
black.
The signs reading "Go
Vikings, Go" and "Orange
Crush the"Knights" which
appeared in the windows of
Main Street businesses and
at the rally Friday night,
made their way along state
route 30 andl-71 to enhance
the spirit of the day.
Captain Crush, a mascot
for the Vikings, also known
as Kelly Keyes, provided the signs made at
his R&D Corporation in
Massillon. Keyes is a
Hoover High graduate.
Those same signs failed
to disappear in thewindows
of cars, vans and campers
on their return trip.
"The community was
great." Jim Staley,Chamber of Commerce president
said. "We had a fine turn-
' out,;.maybe- more than any
other school could have
drawn."
Because Hoover had the
opportunity to play in Columbus, gave many city residents a first time opportunity, and visit to Ohio
State's stadium.Staleyadded.
"We had a good season
and the community can
stand very proud," Staley said..
Community support has
a direct effect on the team's
attitude.
When the coaches turned around at the sidelines
the crowd was a mass ot'
orange and black," John
Flad, athletic director for
Hoover, said. "A scene
like that really makes the
players and the coaches Jeel
good inside."

COMMUNITY SUPPORT - The west side of Ohio State's stadium was filled with Hoover fans Sunday with a total game crowd of 13,000 plus.
City to enter contract with Public Defenders office
Utider the recent recommendation by city administrator Michael Sumser,
City Council Monday night
approved legislation to enter into a contract with the
'Canton Public Defenders office to provide a service
for those unable to afford
a lawyer.
Mayor William Hines
said the service would probably be used no more than
two to three times a year
in which the cost would a-
mount to $125 per case.
The service would be
provided both in the North
Canton Mayor's Court and
Canton Municipal Court.
Council defeated an ordinance 4-3 regarding a requested zone change made
at the Nov. 19 Councilor - the - Whole meeting.
The request involved a
zone change from two-
family residential to multi-
family residential for two
lots on Rose Lane St. SE.
According to Jim Maag,
council vice president, the
ordinance was defeated because it was originallydis-
Elementary cooks strive for excellence
Lunches made from scratch
by Doug Chovpn
There is a rarity that is
noteworthy among the elem
entary cooks in the city
school system.
Unlike other school systems in Stark County, this
city's elementary schools
have their own head cooks.
Also, aside from United States Department of Agriculture allocations, the'
cooks take it upon themselves to supplement the
remainder of the food from
scratch.
The USDA provides the
staples such as wheat, oats
flour and dry milk, which
Ruth Kandel, head cook at
Clearmount said are called "commodities."
The remainder ofthe food
is supplemented by local
commercial grocers, Mrs.
Kandel said.
As examples, the elementary schools make their
own muffins, spaghetti
sauce, and gravy.
Each cook at the elementary level designs their own
menu to better utilize the
food and cut down on waste.
"We do have certain
guidelines set by the USDA
such as how much protein,
milk, bread and fruit each
student needs," Mrs. Kandel, who has been head
cook at Clearmount for five
•years, said. "Our job is
,to give the kids incentives
Ito buy their meals at,.
school."
The school is charging80
cents for lunch which includes a 15 cent milk price.
Mrs. Kandel saiditwould
be difficult for a parent to
pack a lunch this cheaply.
Mrs. Kandel, along with
Beverly Durbin, said they
strive to make their lunches
attractive and enjoyable for
tlie 190 children they serve
every day.
"Granted, some days we
will get many more children
who buy their lunches,"
Mrs. Kandel said. '1 think
the top four lunches are
pizzas, tacos, spaghetti,
and chicken with gravy and
mashed potatoes."
Mrs. Kandel and Mrs.
Durbin also employ special
lunches such as GiantCook-
ie Day and Lucky Tray Day.
On those days, a few tags
are placed on randomlysel-
ected trays which offer free
chocolate chip cookies or
fudgesicles and ice cream
bars.
"The name ofthegameis
participation," Mrs. Kandel pointed out. "We have
a very good rapport with
the PTO (Parent Teachers Organization) mothers."
The elementary schools
also utilize a reduced lunch
and free lunch program for
qualifying families.
To avoid discrimination,
students on the reduced or
free program are given
approved by the Planning
Commission and because if
linssed, it would have to go
l"-fore the Zoning Board of
Appeals for variance.
The Planning Commis-
■,i>-fS- n-said it would not ap-
''pfbve the varianee and al-
so'said the requestcouldbe
coasidered spot zoning
which is usually illegal.
With it's first reading
completed, legislation is
pending in council to enter
into a contract with
Burgess & Niple Ltd. who
have been considred to provide an operational and
maintenance manual for the
waste water treatment
plant.
The Columbusbasedfirm
has estimated a total cost
of no more than $17,000
for the project.
Vice - president Maag
said hewouldlikeadditional
time tostudyasamplemanual which the firm has provided.
William Norris, of B&
N's Akron office, recently
said such manuals maybe-
come a requirement because of new expected Environmental Protection A-
gency rules.
Administrtor Sumser
was asked by Maag to present his views on the sample manual at the nextCoun-
cil -of- the -Whole meeting set for Dec. 3, at 7 p.m.
at City Hall.
In other action, council:
APPROVED an ordinance zone change on the
north side of ApplegroveSt.
NW, to the city limits from
two - family residential to
multi - family.
APPROVED legislation to
enter into an agreement
with Beaver ExcavatingCo,
allowing surplus excavating
material to be dumped on
city owned property.
APPROVED the purchase
of eight new alerters
for the Emergency Medical
Service not to exceed $2,
400. Tlie alerters willbe
used to replace thosewhich
